have lately been compared with Stal's type by Dr. Ch. Aurivilius 

 of Stockholm, and are now preserved in the U. S. National Mu

Aradus cinnamomeus Panzer. 



One specimen, a winged male from Tryon, N. C. Common 

 throughout the spring and early summer on a large pine tree, 

 which had been .girdled in March, but which was still alive. 

 Many specimens were caught in the pitch that exuded from the 

 wound. This small Aradus belongs also to the palearctic fauna. 



Aradus fallen! Stal. 



A single female specimen, taken at light, May 30, 1903, at 

 Tryon. N. C. This species has a wide range of distribution. 

 Originally described from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, it occurs through 

 out South America, in Mexico and the West Indies, and has 

 recently been recorded from nearly all of the Southern States. It 

 is known, also, from Indian Territory and the District of Colum 

 bia. 



Aradus breviatus Bergroth. 



One example, a male, collected by Dr. A. D. Hopkins, on 

 Taxodium at Baldwin, Fla. This species seems quite rare. I 

 once took two specimens from the crevices of the bark of a living 

 pine tree in the neighborhood of Washington, D. C. 



Subfamily 



Brachyrrhynchus granulatus Say. 



Numerous specimens from Tryon, N. C. , March 6 and April 

 9, 1903 ; found on yellow pine trees, dead some years, and be 

 neath bark of dead maples ; on fresh pine boards, attracted with 

 other insects by the odor of resin; and on November 17, 1903, 

 beneath bark of chestnut felled last spring. It was also taken at 

 Savannah, Ga., April 29, and at Cornelia, Ga., November 22, 

 1903, beneath dead and dry oak bark. The species is very abun 

 dant throughout the United States. 



Neuroctenus simplex Uhler. 



Many specimens, mostly from Tryon, N. C., March 9, Novem 

 ber 17, 18, 1903, beneath bark of decaying oak log and beneath 

 bark of oak, which died last summer. The species was also col 

 lected at Saluda, N. C., November 25, 1903, in large numbers 

 beneath bark of oak trees girdled last spring ; and at Lakeland, 

 Fla., April 7, 1904, on live-oak. This is the commonest species 

 of the Aradids known in the United States. Fresh specimens
